It has been altered slightly (shortened) I am 5'7 and honestly I could have used for it to be shortened even more...I did not want to lose ANY of the train. it also has a French Bustle (which you can decide to use or not) added from Anna's Alterations (adding $75 in value) .There was some slight damage to the train of the dress (it was snagged by my heel-the dress itself is fairly delicate due to the lace) but it was repaired by a bridal specialist and due to the location on the train it makes it almost completely UN-noticable. This has been taken into consideration and I have lowered the price
